Am I going to feel like a an idiot when someone tells me what LFN is?
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Same here, but I was going on the assumption that "most" here: [redacted] is an average, and that if you got local, say to LA or NY, the number would be higher, and if you took it to Jamaica, it'd be lower
Sure. "Most" people in the world. Not each person.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

1. World? You think it holds for all those country with a much lower cost of living than the US? So many places I could be living like a raucous king on $30K, relatively speaking.
2. I was talking locales that shift the averages, not individuals.

Wasn't that part of the point? It was in my head.

Anyway, even assuming a varying cost of living in different places in the US, there's still a federal poverty line that doesn't count any of that in the lower 48. [link] So that single person making less than $10K will still get way more benefit from the grand than I'm hurt by losing it.
